What's it like to be big?
I don't know.
But you're the biggest in the class.
There are a lot of other times when I'm the smallest.
Like when?
Like all the time at home. I'm the smallest in my family.
Really? You're the smallest?
Uh-huh, I'm even too small to ride the bumper cars at the fair. I have to watch my brothers drive past, and stick their tongues out at me. They call me a shrimp! It made me so mad!
Hmm, I just don't like being called a shrimp either. If I see your big brothers sticking their tongues out, I'll tell them to stop it.
Thanks, Charles! [to Claude's figure] What do you think about that, Mr. Big Shot?!
[Charles and Doris giggle]
Do you want to come play at my house after school?
Okay.
[As for Nora, she loses this because Charles is at Doris's house. So she --Nora-- postpones it --the long talking-to-- until tonight. That is, even though it was supposed to be for this afternoon after school.]
(Charles is going to Doris's house?! Well, I am talking to him about this "lie" and "being bigger" status tonight. And I did say, "Sometime after school".)
[Nora and Charles both get permission from their parents, their teacher Mrs. Jenkins, and their principal to break into the school so Nora and Charles can use the school over the weekend. That is, so Nora can talk to Charles about Charles's incident for a serious conversation. That is, both her --Nora-- and Charles. And Charles is going to be sitting on Nora's lap and doing nothing but the "serious conversation".]
